growing up is tough for small people

Being small of stature has definite drawbacks. As a child it meant getting special treatment because I was a cute kid but as a pre-teen it was strange to see everyone else pass me by into puberty. In high school I began to grow but never made it taller than 5’6” and 110 pounds.

Most people treated me fine, but some treated me as their pet- rubbing my head –“how’s the weather down there?” as they passed by. Bigger guys seemed unable to resist putting their arm around me or picking me up because my portability was a bit of a novelty.

One of my most dreaded times of the week were showers after gym class. There was this guy named Jerry who was big, kind of dumb, but likeable. He was also always horny. While heading to the shower one day, he came up behind me and lifted me up and squeezed me to his chest. I could feel his penis barely touching my ass as he yelled, “you look like a girl from behind!” Some of the guys in class intervened and told him to leave me alone. He dropped me and I got dressed quickly feeling red hot with embarrassment.

I don’t know why but people started treating me differently. Some even started calling me fag. Jerry, on the other hand, was allowed to continue going on being big, dumb, and well liked. One of the teachers, a wrestling coach, started treating me with a different kind of attention as well. Maybe I’ll tell about it some time.

this is a good preface to your bulge story. it's strange, growing up. i'm straight but it was hard growing up straight as well. why do people feel the need to pick on differences? i got boobs when i was 9, imagine the horror. anyways, good job. you've got more childhood stories to uncover and i can't wait to read them. write on!
